MOD Pizza

This place always gives great food. I really enjoyed my pizza and the tall guy who took my order was super nice and I followed all of his recommendations, which made for a really delicious pizza.He put a lot of chicken and beef on there after I asked him about this option. He was super helpful and all the ingredients were fresh and filling, which felt good so that I didn't overeat.

Pretty good for this kind of pizza. The staff was friendly and the service was fast.

How to score a free pizza from MOD Pizza...Well, if you read the entirety of the review and manage to pick up all the little bits and pieces scattered throughout this review, you might be able to score a free pizza, but please don't expect this to work all the time, and especially don't be disappointed if you don't.This MOD Pizza is located in Irvine's Westpark Plaza on the northwest corner of Culver and Alton. If you know where Hmart is, it's in that plaza, but adjacent to Alton. Parking should not be an issue, especially when I went around 8 PM on a Wednesday. There are also a few parking spots dedicated to curbside pickup.There were a couple other customers being serviced when I arrived, so I was on deck to build my pizza. However, I still had to wait several minutes because they were a little short-staffed and slammed with orders in spite of the interior being mostly void of other customers. One employee was handling the in-person orders, and the other was handling the online orders. It took over 10 minutes after stepping inside to finally pay for my pizza.Upon paying, I was trying to redeem a reward on my phone, but scanning the QR code resulted in an error message that almost implied it was used already when it wasn't. Luckily, there was an alphanumerical code underneath the QR code, but the employee grabbed my phone rather than let me hold it out in front of him. At least ask for permission! But that and the extended wait times were the only blemishes in service.I asked how long the wait would be. He estimated 6-7 minutes, which was accurate. I sat at the table next to the napkins for ease of access, and it was helpful because I needed one to give that table a quick wipe. Two tables away, there was a mess that hadn't been cleaned, but the employee who rang me up did clean it shortly after the dinner rush.When I heard my name being called, I asked for two cups of sri-rancha on the side as well as a ranch drizzle on top. The ranch was only drizzled on one half of the pizza while the two sri-rancha sauces were placed on the other side of the pizza. Not quite how I would have wanted it, but I really didn't want to be overly fastidious over something most others would perceive as pedantic.The pizza was great! The crust was nice and crispy^, but not close to burnt. However, it didn't come out as flavorful as I had hoped, so eating the pizza without either of the sauces would have been quite the deprivation. With the thin crust, I was able to fold each slice like a New York style pizza and easily dip into the sri-rancha. The sri-rancha cups weren't filled all the way; I definitely could have used a third cup! These sauces are complimentary, just like at The Stand, so don't be afraid to ask for more if you really need more :)There was a female customer who sat at the next table over, and she was patiently waiting for her pizza. I legitimately felt bad for her because the entire time I ate my pizza, she was waiting for hers, so it felt like she was watching me eat the whole time! The employee by the pickup counter felt bad too that he even offered her a cake on the house, which she declined. A few minutes later, her mini pizza was ready for pickup, and that employee gave her a card for a free MOD-size pizza or salad on her next visit as a token of apology for the extended wait. Patience really is virtue, especially if it results in another pizza that is almost 3.5 times larger than the pizza you originally ordered.Yet nothing for me? Well, I ordered in person, and she ordered online. Plus, that employee wouldn't have known about my extended wait. My pizza was great also, so there was no way I was deserving of such a voucher.The table I was sitting at was directly underneath a ceiling fan, and that caused the napkins to easily fly away from the table. I had to keep a watchful eye to make sure I wasn't littering the dining area with napkins without even touching them lol.I used the restroom before I left, and while I appreciated how clean it was inside, I thought the music was playing quite loud in the restroom even though it was at an acceptable volume level elsewhere in the restaurant.I think they're habitually slow, so remember to bring lots of patience! I saw a customer pick up her online order right when I left, but it was ready shortly after my pizza was ready. Perhaps a sign that she was anticipating the pizza to be done *much* later than scheduled?I also asked for a water cup upon paying. However, the water was dispensed with such force that I had to be careful so as to not spill anything on the floor. Overall, it was a good visit to this MOD Pizza, and I hope they're here to stay. They closed a handful of locations earlier this year, including one in Long Beach, likely due to the minimum wage hike, and I hope these closures will cease for good.^ I asked for my pizza to be baked well done to get that nice crispy crust. If you prefer crispier crusts, I recommend doing this.

Definitely one of the better build your own pizza places (Blaze, Pieology, Pizza Press, etc.). Got the build your own MOD dough, thinner flat crust dough for $12.I really like how they have a bunch of different toppings and sauces! I really liked the chicken sausage and plant based sausage. I did a mix of mozzarella and Gorgonzola cheese and it was so good!Would definitely give this place a try if you're craving a build your own!

Please don't close this location! All the veggies and the perfect crisp pizza was so good! I was really sad the Eastvale one closed down, but glad to find this one still exists. Love the simplicity of the dough as well. Fast and friendly service, and ample seating for a quick bite.

I love MOD Pizza! It's my go-to spot for delicious pizza. I always customize mine with dairy-free cheese, and I absolutely can't skip the roasted garlic. The wide variety of toppings makes it so much fun to create something new every time, and I really appreciate how they cater to different dietary needs without compromising on flavor.

I visited this pizza joint with my colleagues for lunch. The place has the typical pizza joint ambiance, with decent seating both inside and outside. The staff were friendly and efficient.I decided to try their 11-inch artisan-style pizza, which comes with unlimited toppings. Considering there's just a dollar difference between the one-topping option and unlimited toppings, it's a no-brainer. They offer a wide variety of meat and veggie toppings, and you can pile them on as much as you want. Just keep in mind that since it's a thin crust, overloading it might make it a bit tricky to handle.What's cool is that they cook the pizza right in front of you over a gas-fired oven, so you get that fresh, hot pizza experience. If you're craving a pizza and want to try something different from your regular spot, this place is worth a visit.

Wanted some comfort food and had lunch here. Really nice and friendly staff. Service was quick and efficient, which I didn't expect due to making pizzas to order per person. Definitely would like to try other pies!

I love MOD. I'm allergic to cheese so I order an 11 inch with their delicious BBQ sauce, and a few delicious toppings like chicken, sausage, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and oodles of sweet pineapple on top. Yum!

I have to say that I had a very pleasant experience. Spencer and Aga Pito were so kind, outgoing and great customer service. The store was clean. Manager's you need to take care of these two young men! Look forward to going back!
